Entanglement of Memories in Mesoamerica and Applications in the Palenque Region
Author(s): Kimberly Salyers
Year: 2016
Summary
As social archaeologists, we have long affirmed the fluidity of social structures, yet we continue to experience proactive interference from the political economy lessons long embedded in our memory. Through the review of social memory applications in Mesoamerica, this paper discusses how the battle between the individual and the social approaches to memory fall victim to our current entanglements of memory. Building from this review, I will consider how incorporating applications of ArcGIS and ceramic analysis in the Palenque Region aim to untangle the views of lowland Maya’s political economy and memory.
